Gevelinger is in her mid- to late 80s and was a member of Scott's alleged religious groups in Galesburg, Ill., and Powers Lake, N.D. Their relationship goes back perhaps a decade.
Scott, who is about 60 years old, testified earlier this month that Gevelinger legally adopted him two years ago in Knox County, Illinois. His driver's license issued in Illinois bears the name Ryan Patrich Scott Gevelinger.
Gevelinger's daughter, Bobbie Fleming, lives in Vermont. She contacted Buchanan County Attorney Shawn Harden and the Buchanan County Sheriff's Office as the situation began to unravel at the former Buchanan County home.
"As of yet, no clue where she is. Just waiting to hear," Fleming wrote in an email to The Courier.
Fleming said her concern is Scott will abandon her mother.
Harden had no news about Scott's or Gevelinger's direction of travel.
"At this point, I haven't heard where he is or whether she's with Scott's group," Harden said.
Gevelinger's apparent accommodations were more comfortable. Several dresses hung in a closet, and a nearby room had a living area, sofa, chairs and small kitchen.
Some of Gevelinger's personal effects, including an empty prescription drug container, were left on a desk.
